Privacy Policy
Effective date: 05/09/2026
At Olive, we treat the things you share with us — especially your support conversations — with care. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it to power features like support chats, memory, and care handoff, who helps us operate the service, and the choices you have over your data.
We don’t sell your private support conversations or use them to target ads. We’ve written this policy in plain language so you know exactly what to expect from us. For questions, see our Terms of Service or contact us at support@olivehelps.ca.
Who We Are
Olive is operated by 16765238 Canada Inc. (“Olive,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
For privacy questions, requests, or complaints, contact us at: support@olivehelps.ca.
Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information when you:
- use the Olive mobile application (“App”);
- create or use an Olive account;
- use Olive’s support, continuity, memory, care handoff, or provider/resource discovery features; and
- visit Olive websites or waitlist pages that link to this policy, if applicable.
If a website, waitlist, or marketing page uses different tools or processors than the App, we may provide a separate website privacy notice or a supplemental section.
What Olive Is (and Is Not)
Olive is a privacy-first AI mental wellness support app designed to help users feel heard, regulate difficult moments, access practical coping support, and connect to trusted human or local resources where appropriate. Olive is not therapy, not diagnosis, not treatment, and not a replacement for professional care or emergency services.
Information We Collect
A. Account and identity information
If you create an account, we may collect:
- email address or sign-in identifiers;
- authentication-related information;
- profile information such as display name, nickname, or avatar details.
B. Support and conversation information
When you use Olive’s support features, we may collect:
- messages you send;
- Olive’s generated responses;
- conversation titles;
- conversation summaries;
- continuity or “memory” information derived from relevant prior conversations;
- support preferences and settings.
C. Preferences and support settings
We may collect:
- nickname or preferred name;
- pronouns;
- language settings;
- support preferences;
- memory/continuity preferences;
- selected support modes;
- support topics or concerns you choose to share.
D. Care handoff and support-navigation information
If you use care handoff or support-discovery features, we may collect:
- provider/resource search inputs;
- optional city or approximate location inputs;
- selected providers or resources;
- editable handoff summaries or notes;
- export/share actions you choose to initiate.
E. Device, technical, and security information
We may collect device, network, crash, diagnostic, and session-related information needed to operate, secure, and improve Olive.
F. Safety and crisis review information
If Olive’s safety systems flag a serious risk scenario, we may create limited safety-event records, notifications, or audit logs related to review and action.
How Olive’s Continuity / Memory Feature Works
Olive includes a continuity feature designed to reduce repetition and improve support over time. To do this, Olive may summarize relevant parts of prior conversations into a user-specific memory layer and retrieve only the most relevant prior context when generating a new response. This feature is intended to help make future support more coherent. It is not a clinical record and does not make Olive a therapist or professional care provider.
Why We Collect and Use Information
We use personal information to:
- create and manage accounts;
- provide support conversations and responses;
- generate summaries and continuity context;
- deliver memory/continuity features if enabled;
- personalize the support experience based on your settings;
- power provider/resource discovery;
- create care handoff materials you choose to use;
- protect users and review serious safety concerns;
- secure the App and prevent misuse;
- comply with legal obligations;
- improve quality, reliability, and user experience.
We do not sell your private support conversations, memory summaries, or safety-event data. We do not use private support chats to target ads to you.
Consent
Where required by Canadian privacy law, we seek consent through account creation, feature use, settings, prompts, or specific notices. Some processing is necessary to operate Olive. Other features may be optional. If you choose not to provide certain information, some features may be unavailable.
Service Providers and AI Providers
We use service providers to help operate Olive, which may include:
- Supabase for authentication, database storage, and serverless functions;
- OpenAI and, where enabled, Anthropic to process support prompts, generate responses, summaries, and continuity-related features;
- provider/resource search or mapping services where applicable;
- communications or infrastructure services used for operations and safety.
These providers process information to help us provide the service. Where applicable, we use contractual safeguards and data-handling settings intended to protect user information.
Operational Processing vs. User-Initiated Export/Share
When you use Olive’s support features, your information may be processed through Olive’s backend and service providers to operate the App. This is different from user-initiated export or share. If you choose to export, copy, email, print, or otherwise share a handoff summary or other content outside Olive, that information may then be handled by the destination or service you choose, not by Olive.
Safety Review and Limited Lawful Disclosures
Olive includes safety features intended to help identify situations where a user may face a serious risk of harm to themselves or others. If we reasonably believe there may be a serious risk, we may conduct internal review and, where permitted or required by applicable law, disclose limited information to appropriate third parties as reasonably necessary to reduce that risk. Depending on the circumstances, this may include emergency services, crisis responders, a government institution with lawful authority, or other appropriate responders.
Olive is not an emergency service and does not guarantee that every dangerous situation will be detected or escalated.
Disclosure Without Consent
In addition to disclosures you direct us to make, we may disclose personal information without consent where permitted or required by law, including where reasonably necessary to respond to an emergency threatening life, health, or security; to comply with legal process; to investigate fraud or unlawful activity; or to protect Olive, our users, or others. These disclosures are made narrowly and only where we reasonably believe the law and circumstances support them.
What We Will Not Do With Your Mental-Health Data
We will not sell your private support conversations or use them to build advertising audiences.
We will not use your private support chats for chat-based ad targeting.
Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or reasonably justified by law, safety, security, fraud prevention, record integrity, dispute handling, or legal defense.
Routine account and support data is generally retained until you delete it or your account, subject to backup and system-recovery cycles. Some limited records related to safety review, security, fraud prevention, legal process, or compliance may be retained after account deletion where reasonably necessary or required by law.
Account Deletion
If you have an Olive account, you can request deletion from within the App and, where provided, through our web deletion request resource. When your deletion request is processed, we delete or de-identify the account data and routine support data we are not legally required or reasonably justified to retain. Some limited records may be retained for safety, security, fraud prevention, compliance, or legal defense.
Your Rights and Choices
Subject to applicable law, you may:
- request access to your personal information;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of your account and certain associated information;
- use available export/share tools;
- manage memory/continuity settings where available;
- withdraw optional consents, subject to legal and technical limits.
Children / Minors
Olive is intended for users who meet the minimum age requirements stated in our Terms of Service and onboarding flow. If we learn we have collected personal information in a way that violates applicable law or our own stated rules, we will take appropriate action.
International Processing
Olive may use service providers or infrastructure located outside your province or country. Information processed in other jurisdictions may be subject to lawful access under the laws of those jurisdictions. We use safeguards intended to protect information consistent with applicable law.
Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect information, including measures such as encryption in transit, access controls, and logging. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Breach Response
If we experience a privacy or security incident involving your information, we will respond in accordance with applicable law, including notifying affected individuals and regulators where required and keeping required records.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify users, such as through the App or our website.
